Hymenoplasty - Hymen Restoration

Hymenoplasty, performed by a Specialist Cosmetic Surgeon, is a safe procedure that delivers natural results. The specialist surgeon will work meticulously on your intimate area. Dr Weiss, specialist in intimate cosmetic surgery in Paris (Hauts-de-Seine), invites you to discover the answers to the main questions about hymenoplasty.

The hymen is a membrane of variable thickness that partially closes the passage between the vulvar entrance and the vagina.

An intact hymen is synonymous with the absence of conventional sexual intercourse.

If the hymen is thick and strong, the sensation of resistance and tearing during penetration will be clear and definite.

Hymenoplasty is a procedure that restores virginity in a woman who has already lost it. This is a highly confidential procedure.

Who is hymenoplasty for?

The most frequent reasons for the request are:

  • Socio-cultural customs that do not accept premarital relations.
  • Trauma or sexual assault that leaves lifelong scars and often prevents women from living a normal life.

Hymen reconstruction is requested by women who wish to experience virginity once again.

What is the solution for repairing the hymen?

The procedure is possible using remnants of the hymen, and if this is not possible, small mucosal flaps are used.

The sutures are dissolvable and disappear spontaneously within 3 weeks.

The hymen can be considered solid within one to two months after the procedure, although it is more prudent to wait 3 months before the first intercourse.

The effects

It will be impossible to distinguish between a natural hymen and a reconstructed one.

During defloration, bleeding is usual in most cases.

Intimate surgery: the process

The procedure actually begins from the very first moments of the initial consultation. It starts with establishing mutual trust and a deep understanding of the surgical process.

Cosmetic surgery is not only the art of operating, but also the art of listening and analysing wishes, in order to meet the patient's expectations and achieve an optimal, harmonious, and natural result. In two words: "tailor-made".

It is necessary for the surgeon to understand the request and thus allow a balance between the body and its perception. It is essential to guide or sometimes even refuse the operation when the request seems unreasonable or the procedure is unlikely to deliver the expected result.

Dr Weiss will answer all your questions with precision (hospital stay, procedure, anaesthesia, risks, post-operative care, quotation, etc.).

Dr Weiss will perform a thorough anatomical examination. He will take into account your medical history and current medical condition. He will verify the feasibility of your request and, thanks to his artistic expertise, will guide you regarding what results can be expected.

Dr Weiss will present his opinion and discuss your request with you. Guided by the most modern and safest technical knowledge, you will choose together the procedures that will give you the greatest satisfaction.

This often coincides with the anaesthesia consultation. You will ask all your questions to Dr Weiss, who will re-explain the planned surgical procedures. You will complete and sign all necessary documents for the procedure and proceed with pre-admission and room reservation.
